Based on models from the 1920s, Pike Brothers produces this classic apron from the workwear sector - with extra-large pockets for tools. Solid work aprons like these have always been popular with carpenters, joiners and shoemakers. In the version offered here, made from eleven-ounce raw denim - which was used exclusively for work pants at the time - the apron protects just as well in the workshop as it does in the kitchen or at the barbecue. The selvage denim is robust and initially feels rough, almost board-like. It is woven on old shuttle looms, which can be seen in the visible selvages on the long side of the apron. Plain, light-colored cotton ribbon is used to tie the neck and belt. The work apron has three large pockets, the breast pocket on the bib is divided into two compartments.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
